EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Lady Wodehouse, formerly known as Frances Margaret Montagu, exudes the refined charm and sophistication of the British aristocracy. Dressed in a stylish hat and a chic outfit, she poses gracefully with her loyal Airedale Terrier, a breed that was popular among the upper classes during the early 20th century. Lady Wodehouse was a prominent figure in the world of sport and society, known for her hosting skills and her love for various athletic pursuits. As a keen rider to hounds, she no doubt enjoyed the thrill of the chase on horseback, a pastime that was synonymous with the aristocracy. Her athletic prowess extended beyond the hunt, as she was also a capable lawn tennis player. However, it was her unwavering support of polo that truly set her apart. Her husband, John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley, was a leading player in the sport, and Lady Wodehouse was a regular presence at matches, cheering him on with unwavering enthusiasm. This photograph, taken in 1923, captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the aristocracy ruled supreme and the pursuit of sport and the companionship of pets were cherished pastimes. Lady Wodehouse's enduring bond with her Airedale Terrier is a testament to the deep connection between the aristocracy and their pets, a connection that continues to this day. With her captivating smile and the loving gaze of her dog, this portrait is a beautiful reminder of a time when elegance and athleticism went hand in hand.
